[Board] Kicking off Elections 2015 process

[Yves Jacolin]

Hello,

I agreed with Massimimiano as well, but, indeed, need discussion. My main 
concern is that Local chapter board are busy to manage local chapter which is 
quiet a lot of work. If you ask to hte board to get involved in OSGeo Board we 
will get less than a part time board.

However I agreed with Jedd that keeping a strong link between OSGeo board and 
Local chapter board is realy important and we should find a way to keep its 
link strong enought.

Y.
PS : I keep reading almost all discussion thread even if I don't talk so much. 
:)
